Nuno Gil

Inspired mostly by the botanical universe Nuno Gil's work emerges from a system of meticulously crafted shapes. On the limit between figuration and abstraction, his compositions result from the accumulation of thousands of unique pieces. The excessive and repetitive labour put into each cut out, is replicated by the use of materials and techniques, commonly associated with Crafts. 

Large surfaces of painted papers or embossed leathers are filled with endless patterns following an all over logic. These are the starting point of a destruction and reconfiguration process that creates an alphabet of shapes in constant evolution.
